You guessed that there were 256 gumballs in the jar. There were actually 510. Find your percent error. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

The pH of the solution is 2.77

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include:

Concentration of hydronium ion, [H₃O⁺] = 1.7 x 10⁻³ M

pH =?

The pH is define as the measure of concentration of Hydrogen ion [H⁺] or hydronium [H₃O⁺] in an acid or a base. Mathematically, it is expressed as:

pH = –Log [H₃O⁺]

With the above equation, the pH can be obtained as follow:

pH = –Log [H₃O⁺]

[H₃O⁺] = 1.7 x 10⁻³ M

pH = –Log 1.7 x 10⁻³ M

pH = 2.77

Therefore, the pH of the solution is 2.77
